This is the same rule which is In effect In the Coast conference, but the fear has been expressed that In view of the limited enroll ment at -Northwest conference schools, it would not be practic able, would lower the standard of play and result finally In the dissolution of the conference. The freshman rule was first broached at the recent meetjagot the Independent Colleges of Ore iron, which includes three mem tiers of the conference; Willam ette. Pacific and Llnfleld. ' lrob1em Talked Jy Faculty Here The Willamette faculty discuss ed the matter at length Wednes day, and while at first favoring the change, left It up.the Dean F. M. Ertckson, faculty representa tive in the conference, to vote as he sees fit should the matter come up at the Portland meeting. The freshman rule would not weaken Willamette's position in the conference It was declared, s athletics there appear to be on a sound basis with a fair supply or vpperclass athletes; but it would seriously handicap such small schools as Linfleld and Pacific. As a compromise measure to avoid possible scholastic ills which might attend the participa tion of freshmen in intercolleg iate sports, a rule limiting them to two sports was proposed at the faculty meeting and met with some favor. It was also proposed that eligibility of players be de termined before each game. Another matter which will come up at the conference meet ing today Is the admission of Co lumbia university, Portland, Into membership. Columbia was put on a year's probation when It applied a year ago. Schedules for the remaining sports this school year and the football season next fall will be .worked out.

The householders who were al most marooned by this flood de f'ared .that I; blamer.nle en tirely to the aforesaid bridge, wiucii was luilit without suffici ent passageway beneath for a heavy stream such as is now flow ing. This is proven, they declared, by the fact that the water Just below the bridge is six feet low er than above it. They stated that the new bridge was built with four feet less clearance be tween the stream bed and the concrete work than the span which formerly stood at this point; and there had been some flooding while it was in use.

IS STILL IN SIGHT FOR CITY'S FORGES Curtailment Not Likely for Several Months is Indi cation Here Reduction of Salaries May Become Necessary at Future Date With the bookkeeping depart ment at the city hall far behind in its work on street Improvement accounts, any cultailment In the number or the salaries of city em ployees connected with this work Is scarcely possible at this time, although it may come to pass be fore the next paving season is well under way, it was indicated Wed nesday. In connection with the proposal made by Alderman W. H. Dancy that supplementary salaries which regular city employes draw' from the street improvement fund be eliminated beginning January 1, end that employes whose duties are entirely in connection with street improvements be cut off the payroll, some of the officers concerned said they had "seen it coming," but were not sure that the situation described was yet at hand. Home Paving Next Year Held Likely Mr. Dancy's proposal was made on the premise that there will be practically no paving next year. Investigation Wednesday disclosed that while no petitions for new paving have come in, some arc known to be contemplated, and furthermore there is some work left over from this year's pro gram; some small sections of Rur al avenue, the west side of the High street fill, the Liberty street bridge approach, the widening of Church street near the new bridge there, and a few other items. As for the lack of new petitions. Street Commissioner Walter Low blames that on the feat that un paved streets were kept in good condition last summer and resi dents along them saw no need for paving; now that they are becom ing the accustomed mudholes, a different attitude Is beginning to appear. Nevertheless, street work will be light in 1930, and Mr. Low does not expect to keep more than one crew busy. This crew will do the grading and curb construction, and will be busy on paving only part of the time. As to Just when the council would be Justified in curtailing salaries paid out of this fund other than when there is no work and none in sight that is an In volved problem. The portion of the street improvement fund which is set aside for administra tion goes into the city treasury when Bancroft bonds are sold or when property owners pay their assessments in cash. Strictly speaking, there will always be some money coming into this fund, and always some adminis trative work in connection with street Improvements. The bookkeeping department, it was explained, has never caught up with its work since tho bookkeeping machine was Install ed and the task of transferring the city'B accounts from the first of the year to the new system was undertaken.

Boycott Against Laredo Continues Mexicans Still Resentful at Attempt to Arrest Former President on Old Murder Charge; Business Falls Off LAREDO, Tex., Dec. 18. (AP) Unsuccessful in his ef forts to prosecute former President Calles, of Mexico, on charges of implication in the murder of a Mexican general here in 1922, District Attorney John A. Vails today dis missed a similar murder charge against Duke Carver, San Antonio constable. Meanwhile, hopes of Laredo business men for a speedy settle ment of difference with Mexico, which resulted in a boycott of this major border port, were jolt ed by fresh evidence of Mexico's resentment against Vails' at tempt to arrest Calles. Merchants found their Christ mas trade dealt a severe blow to day by a ruling that residents across the border might no long er do their shopping in Webb county and take articles back in to Mexico duty free. Closing of the Laredo consulate previously had shut off shipment of goods cleared through the Laredo cus toms house. In dismissing the murder charge against Carver, District Attorney Vails said that since the state department had prevented the arrest of Calles when he passed through Laredo several days ago, he did not intend to prosecute "American citizens jointly charges with Calles, who are not able to secure diplomatic immunity from their govern ment."

Just a little thing to do, but it may mean a lot to this young man. Henry Thiele, prominent chef and restaurant-proprietor of Portland, as a young homeless boy in far away Australia was befriended and assisted by the Salvation Army and today he never tires of telling what the Army did for him and how he appreciates their work, says Captain Williams.

Mattress Manufacturers Acquitted A Jury in Justice court Wed-' nesday afternoon held that D. J. Poulin and E. W. Muller, proprie tors of the Capitol City Bedding company of this city, were not guilty of mislabelling a matres3 which was manufactured at the local plant. The case was brought to the state for prosecution by Wister Rosenberg ot the State Board of Health. It had been claimed by the state' in the action that officials of the Capitol City Bedding com pany had been manufacturing bed matresses and labelling them to the effect that "the contents were the highest grade of floss obtain- Lable" although they were not. The a?.. t l.i. i . , m siaie luuminra several samples ox matress floss to eompare with that taken from a matress" used as earing s Argument Concluded Extraordinary Session Brought to Close by Counsel Case Against Mr. Man nix Considered by 3 Referees The curtain was rung down here Wednesday on one of the most unusual and extraordinary sessions In the judicial history of Oregon when hearing upon the disbarment of Thomas Mannlx. Portland attorney, finished be fore three referees appointed ay the supreme court. A. E. Renine. Medford. who with A. K. McMahon, Albany, and Arthur Clark. Corvalli. appeared as prosecutors, upon order of the supreme court, was heard yester day afternoon In the state's final argument. Iionergnn'a Argument Briefly Answered The argument by Reamer was twofold. He flrnt answered brief ly the argument of Frank J. Lon ergan. Portland, attorney for Man nlx, who concluded his argument during the morning. He then went again to the records m the several Wemme suits, reviewing and at tacking the Interpretation of the defense to certain phases of these records, and again setting forth the prosecution's theory upon which the hearing has proceeded. Lonergan. concluding 4 -hours and 25 minutes of argumest shortly before noon, rested the case for the defense. Further de tails of the records in the Wemnse cases were reviewed and the po sition of the defendant explained in detail. Wemme Fund Held In Abeyance Hays ('online I The defense counsel, In answer to a query from Referee Wilson, explained that the Wemme en dowment fund was now held in abeyance and had been so since the trustees were named in 1924, and that no attempt was being made by them to carry out the charitable trust contemplated by Wemme. Referring to the entire Wemme matter, Lonergan said: "This is not child's play, but litigation based on law." He denounced the prosecution for the attack upon Mannlx by Clark in the argument Tuesday when Mannlx was charac terized as a "leech." VANDEVORT LOSES T A good Samaritan act may some times prove a bad boomerang. So Henry vandevort, city council man, oughtsto be willing to at test. For as the result of a kind action, the councilman is minus one automobile and one overcoat. As Vandevort was driving to bis ranch across the river Tuesday af ternoon, he stopped to pick up a "hitch hiker." Arrived at the ranch, he parked the car, and saw the young man on his way up th highway. The local man went on to make an inspection trip through his orchard, and when he return ed, there was no car waiting for him. The presumption is that the youth whom he gave the "lift" helped himself to the machine. Although Vandevort has been able to learn something of the young man, he had not been located late last night. Diphtheria Case Is Reported Here A case of diphtheria has devel oped in a Salem family, accordlBg to word yesterday afternoon to Dr. Vernon A. Douglas, county health officer.

This point was stressed to the Jury which returned a verdict of "not guilty" after a short deliberation. , The examination of the matrers in the small justice court room during the trial was an amusing sight when clouds of floss part icles began to float about the room. The matress which, was. used as the state exhibit will be turned over to charity Judge Brs zler Small announced after the cession.
